Unity were ultimately bundled out for a modest 133 runs in just 25 overs.

โ€‹๐ŸŽฏ The Great Spin Fightback!

โ€‹With only 133 to defend, Unity knew they needed something extra special and early on, it looked like it wasn't happening as Hilton got off to a flyer, led by the experienced Alan Barber, who grafted a masterful half-century ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”ฅ.
